[Music] TEXT: Mitt Romney's Plan: Putting Jobs First

Romney: Look at the evidence of the last four years. … We've got 23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work...

They're suffering in this country.

        TEXT: Under President Obama: $4000 tax hike on middle-class families

The President would prefer raising taxes. … The problem with raising taxes is that it slows down the rate of growth.

I'm not going to raise taxes on anyone, because when the economy is growing slow like this, when we're in recession, you shouldn't raise taxes on anyone.

        TEXT: Mitt Romney's Plan: 20% tax cut for middle-class families

My plan is to bring down rates … to get more people working.

My priority is putting people back to work in America.

Romney (voiceover): I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message.

Notes: Uses clips from the debate, edited for brevity.

Look at the evidence of the last four years. It's absolutely extraordinary. We've got 23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work in this country.

The President would prefer raising taxes. I understand. The problem with raising taxes is that it slows down the rate of growth.

My plan is to bring down rates, but also bring down deductions and exemptions and credits at the same time so the revenue stays in, but that we bring down rates to get more people working.
